Careless handling of tools and sharp-edged components.
Scratches, surface damage.
- Protect working area.
- Handle tools and components carefully.
Clean all threaded belt connections with micro-encapsulated outer and internal threads.
Shavings or other debris must not remain in the components.
If a microencapsulated screw is reused, it must be coated with the following screw locking agent: Loctite 243, medium strength.
The screw connection must be completed within 10 minutes as hardening begins after this period.
Microencapsulated screws must be replaced and may not be reused.
The screw lining must be completed within 10 minutes, as the hardening begins after this time period. Microencapsulated screws must not be retightened.
